Most ISPs give their users some amount of "free" space on a web server. Normally it's not a lot. Check with yours.
Other then that you can set up a web server on your own computer at home. The web server comes with Mac OS X all you have to do in enable it. Then you forward port 80 in your router to your computer. The disadvantage of this is that you will have to run the computer 24/7 and you may have a slow connection.

Not to mention being a huge security target as well as possibly capping out on your bandwidth max.
If you are just playing around with it, I would stay with the "free" web space you probably have with your current ISP until you need more space or more bandwidth.
I currently use Rapidweaver 4.1.3 to create sites and Rapidweaver also has built in ftp capabilities to publish the site to my ISP's servers as well. It works really slick and is enough for me until I know how to manually write more custom code.

I'd always suggest 000webhost.com (http://www.000webhost.com).
They offer quite a lot for a very small price ($0.00:)) and would definitely support iWeb by publishing to a folder and then uploading via FTP to their servers using Cyberduck (http://cyberduck.ch/).

I would check out the Freewebspace forums here (http://freewebspace.net/forums/forumdisplay.php?f=32)
Theres a bunch of free hosts there, just depends if you want ads on your site or not :p
